What to Expect

Our courteous staff will work with you to complete the pre-registration process. Your doctor will provide detailed instructions pertaining to your procedure. It is important to follow these directions in order to avoid cancellation of surgery. Often special labs or tests may be required prior to the procedure. Additionally, your surgeon may request you receive anesthesia services for safety and comfort. In these cases a specialized anesthesia plan will be presented to you by your designated provider. You will be asked to refrain from eating or drinking prior to surgery (this includes candy, gum, chewing tobacco or water). Please adhere to these instructions carefully. We value patient satisfaction, and our team will ensure a smooth and informed journey.

Please bring your government issued photo identification as well as your insurance card and a form of payment. Make sure to follow your provider’s instructions regarding which home medications may be taken the day of surgery. Patient safety is important to our team, so please arrange transportation and have a support person present in the facility for the duration of your procedure. Personal valuables such as jewelry should be left at home. A customized post procedure plan and instructions will be provided to you and reviewed with you by our professional, compassionate nursing staff. Comprehensive guidance is a vital part of our customer service.

Our nursing staff will assist you in one of our tranquil recovery bays. Soon you’ll be back home to continue your healing journey. Even though you may feel fine, do not consume alcoholic beverages, take medications not prescribed by your surgeon, or drive/operate machinery during the 24-hour period following your procedure. Keep with your personalized post procedure plan and follow up appointments as directed. Our team will contact you regarding your recovery progress and to help answer any questions. You will also receive a survey. We appreciate your feedback and highly regard your experience.
